With the rise of new technologies in maritime operations and the growing trend towards technological innovations, a better understanding of the human element is increasingly crucial.
We are seeing significant shifts in the way we use the sea, particularly with regard to sustainability goals and autonomous vessels. These shifts impact onboard operations, placing new demands on the human operator, who must adapt and interact with evolving systems. When we intervene in these processes, it is vital to grasp the current operational dynamics and prioritise the human operator's role.
